God's Chosen Fast: Embracing the Unfortunate Quartet Mar 02, 2025

Show notes

Today we kickoff of SEVEN 2025—a multi-church week of worship, prayer and fasting. According to Isaiah 58, the fast God chooses is not a fast that simply benefits the ones fasting. Instead, true fasting leads us to embrace the poor and vulnerable in the name of Christ Jesus. But what does this look like practically? Today, Evan Wickham presents the "what" and "why" of fasting, and then we get to hear from amazing representatives from the following four Park Hill Church's justice partners. Our true fasting will lead to kingdom action alongside partners such as these:

Missy Bell, Olive Crest.

Ashley Guzik Murray, San Diego Rescue Mission.

Alex Huerta, Hope Leadership Academy.

Wheeler Fisher, GenerateHope.

Hope Heals: The Hidden Secret of Forgiveness Feb 24, 2025

Show notes

Matthew Pursley teaches from Genesis 45:1-7, exploring how challenging and frustrating forgiveness can be. Saying "I forgive you" is often easier than truly meaning it from the heart. Yet, God promises that when we lay our pain at the feet of Jesus, we can experience true healing.

Do What Jesus Did Feb 17, 2025

Show notes

This is part three of our vision series. When Jesus calls disciples to follow him, he invites them to become fishers of people. This means all followers of Jesus are to be agents of renewal by drawing people into the kingdom work God is already doing in the world. And Jesus doesn’t leave us alone in this work. He promises the empowering presence of his Holy Spirit to us.

Become Like Jesus Feb 10, 2025

Show notes

For Part 2 of our 2025 Vision series, we consider what it means (and requires) to become like Jesus. Could it be true that God offers us the power to change today? What would it look like to become a church that “strenuously contends” to see one another mature spiritually? Come and see.
